I think this subject has been gone over in a few other threads.
Publishers these days have gone the way of the major labels - most of them have closed their doors to new writers with unsolicited material.
Music library companies, on the other hand, are always seeking master-quality stuff which they have a huge demand for. It just has to be at the same level as the stuff they already have and are putting out. Google "Music Libraries for TV and Film" and go to the websites and listen to samples of what they are selling. Then put some demo CD's together, contact the companies that look like they push your kind of music, and see if they will accept your demo CD for consideration.
